To shout FFS it’s bolognese!!!

[Booksandwine80]

There seems to be a trend for people calling spaghetti bolognese “spag bowl”......gives me the rage

AIBU?!

What phrases piss you off??!!

we call it geggy bolly I don't even know why

I’d have thought ‘spag bowl’ is just an accent thing - most likely cockney-estuary. Nothing to get too worked up over.

Caramel no, fairy cakes are about a third of the size of a cupcake and generally much more plain in decoration.

It has always been spaghetti bollock-naked in our house.

This has all done my heading...

My mum and younger brother have lots of weird names for things. 11 years between me and my brother and these names were never used when I was growing up (thankfully ). Here are some of the nicknames they use for things -

Slippers - slip slops/slip slips
Fingers - Fingey
Lasagne - lesaggy
Chest of drawers - chesty drawers
Shampoo - Shampoop

The list goes on!
when talking to other people or out and about, they use the correct names for things.

Since this has moved on to other misspellings I’d like to add one I saw online yesterday.

Someone was selling a “rod iron table”.

I put on a pretend Italian accent like "spaghetti bollla naysee!" when the kids ask what's for tea. I do their head in but it amuses me lol

Been spag Bol since the 80s

Spaghetti Bolognaise pissees me off.

I'm from Bologna. There's no such thing. It's my indicator of whether to eat at a restaurant or not. If its on the menu, it's a no.

@BookMeOnTheSudExpress I'm from Bologna. Anywhere in Bologna, 'ragu' is a better version of what the rest of the world outside of Bologna refers to as Bolognaise (on the respective languages).

Ragù in Bologna is minced meats. Unless it's specified that's its a different ragù eg ragù al cinghiale or ragù al prosciutto crudo etc.

And just to add an extra into the mix, we also sometimes just say sugo when we mean ragù which in turn is what everyone else calls Bolognaise.

I have heard someone seriously say “she leads the life of Kylie” when talking about her daughter

Life of Kylie feckn love it! However who was Riley? Or is it Reilly?

We call spag bol Spaghetti Bolog nasal in our house

My ndn once knocked and asked if she could borrow some "fairy up liquid" and i genuinely didn't know what she meant at first.

She also pronounces the word "towels" like "tiles" and it makes me want to strangle her

I saw a pram that was being sold “in emasculated condition”... Whatever that may mean.

I saw a pram that was being sold “in emasculated condition”... Whatever that may mean.

It had had its sketty bollocks removed

Or just 'spaghetti'.

If you’re from Bologna why are you saying Bolognaise instead of Bolognese?!

A few people genuinely think it is spag BOWL (not Bol). It drives me insane but not as bad as when people actually believe that the word "drawers" and draws" are the same thing. It actually fills me with rage 😂

Keep your draws on GiGi 😂

Some people don't even pronounce "lion" to rhyme with "barn" 😂

Raging she said that's what everyone else called it.

My friend loved the song Walls in Matilda 😂

spag bol

or spaggywag

or

Bolonaise

“Gives me the rage” is one that annoys me

Isn't "gives me the rage" just normal, correct English? I thought that's what people say in Ireland.

@ravenmum ive only ever seen it on mumsnet maybe I’m wrong but it doesn’t make sense to me. Rage is an emotion/noun so “gives me the rage” doesn’t sound right to me nobody says “gives me the sadness”
